When does AR come out so I can live in this world instead of trash reality? Unless Cyberpunk IS reality because I'm pretty sure the eyes with RT are more realistic than actual eyeballs.
P.S. Idk where are these kids crying about bugs on PC are coming from. I played the entire game (35 hours) and maybe encountered 2-3 bugs the entire time...
playing on 3700X and 5700XT. I've had minimal bugs / glitches /etc. I've got about 44 hours in as of this review. I love the story, world, everything about the lore behind CP77. But it's a mess. CDPR should have delayed this another 3-6 months in all honesty. The AI is weak, features that were promised are missing (Braindances beyond the few story one's i've done thus far), the UI is wonky at times when trying to give you locations for quests/enemies/etc.
I am ok with the $60 i payed for this game, as i'll be getting more than 60 hours of play time out of it. But it's sad that the Corpo suits at CDPR pulled this cake out of the oven before it was finished. I won't fault the devs as i'm sure they relayed the game isn't ready. I have no doubt that as they fix the game, it'll be just as loved as W3: Wild Hunt... but it's saddening that Cyberpunk 2077 had to get this black eye in the first place.
as of now, my experience is 3/5 because there have been plenty of physics bugs/glitches, some AV, but thankfully no game breaking. Combat isn't really a challenge past level 15-20. the side quests do have a unique flavor even if they boil down to being copy/paste of others (go here, kill these 5 gang members, pick up the item, leave the area).
I recommend this game immediately if you can get it on sale, but probably wouldn't recommend full retail price until summer 2021 (unless you have higher end hardware, and are willing to deal with bugs).
CDPR, please learn from the mistakes of this launch.
Lessons learnt:
1) Do not preorder any title from any company even if it is CDPR
2) Never use paypal for pre-order if released is unkown or more than 180 days
3) Gog's refund system, their policies and processes isn't better at all
4) Just support the cheapest game store and void any form of loyality
As to the game itself:
It sounds and looks pretty, but falls short in about everything from rpg, driving and/or shooting. Basically we were promised the all in wonder theme park and got the cutdown version of a tyre swing connected to a branch.
Give me my money back not your useless store credit!
Massive undelivered promise. The game feels like it was made for a console. Funnily enough the console version is garbage and got pulled down from ps store.
I had very few crashes, but a number of ridiculous bugs that left me locked in a quest area or trapped in a location I should've left.
Quests feel uninteresting most of the time and bring Skyrim radiant quests to mind. Go to X, steal/destroy/kill/find Y and get some lousy credits.
Most skills are useless and game relies on constant looting making it a *looter shooter*
Some people might like the story, I hate it. It's uninspiring, forced into traditional Greek tragedy (no matter what you do you will suffer). Some people defend it, for me it's a deal-breaker.
Weapons come in very few types and just hundreds of uninspired +X dmg versions.
Most areas are non accessible with real fake doors.
Long story short - if you like shooting, wait till it's about 15 euro because this is all this disappointment is worth.
ive sunk about 110 hours into this game now. completed 6 out of 7 alternate endings and completed most of the side quests, there are a few things i have to say about the game:
the story is realy enjoyable, and i found it very easy the first time around to get invested in the characters and their progression through the story as well as a suprising impact your choices make, the world they have created is detailed and multi layerd where ive become lost in the many allyways and streets overtime.
the gameplay is okay, and i say okay because it feels incomplete and those who may have seen the 2018 gameplay demo will know the same feeling when i say this because alot of the more next generation gameplay mechanics and playstyles they featured before are not present here.
the Ai in this game is below exeptable standards for a game that does world immersion so well, and at times they really take you out of it because theres just no sense to their programing.
the bugs however not as bad as the base console ports of course, are still a problem. missions failing to progress, enimies refusing to see you as a hostile, teleporting you randomly to areas, physics problems, dialog sound problems... the list realy does go on
TLDR: if you're like me and waited this long to play it yeah go for it, when it works its fun and immersive, but i'd wait a little longer if you want a finished game, because im sorry but this game isn't finished yet and i really, really look forward to when it is a complete experience.
